PECORA 19

The Pecora 19 theme, "Sustaining Land Imaging: Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to Satellites" focuses on how remotely sensed data acquired using the latest technology and platforms are being used to further our understanding of an ever changing Earth, and are being used to improve the information being gathered for managing our natural resources. 

Charles Toth - President, ISPRS Technical Commission I ISPRS/IAG Commission Committee Chair and Dorota A. Grejner-Brzezinska - President, IAG Commission 4 and co-organizers of the joint symposium, will present opening remarks at - Sustained Land Imaging - A Vision for the Future.  This session will discuss the importance of the Landsat Program to the Nation and the world, including a vision for sustaining land imaging. For over 40 years, Landsat imagery has played a critical role in monitoring ongoing changes to the Earth from population, industry, climate change, land use and other factors. The continued collection of moderate resolution imagery is needed to provide an effective means to intensively and systematically measure the Earth's vital conditions as food and water and energy resources become ever more scarce.
